Abstract:
This study aimed to determine pain characteristics in patients with persistent headache after COVID-19 and to investigate the role of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in the pathogenesis of this headache. This is a case-control study comparing the parameters and measurements indicating increased ICP based on magnetic resonance imaging between COVID-19-diagnosed patients with persistent headache and a control group. Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and eyeball transverse diameter (ETD) were performed on the left eye of each participant. Seventeen of the patients (53.12%) met the diagnostic criteria for new daily persistent headache. Seven patients (21.87%) had migraine, and eight (25%) had tension headache characteristics. No significant difference was observed between the patient and control groups in terms of the ONSD and ETD values. It is possible that the etiopathogenesis is multifactorial. We consider that future studies that will evaluate ICP measurements in large patient groups can present a different perspective for this subject.
